My Regimen

Note: Keep in mind that this regimen will change until I figure out what works for me. I'll add pictures later.

Updated May 4, 2012
  • Put hair in 5 sections (bantu knots)
  • Going section by section, mist hair with water and coat with conditioner
  • Detangle each section separately with with wide-tooth comb
  • Take hair down section by section and wash, always putting section back up after shampooing
  • Take hair down section by section and rinse out shampoo
  • Repeat shampoo and rinse if necessary
  • (Adding to next wash section) Coat sections in deep conditioner and deep condition for 30 minutes to an hour with heat cap. If not deep conditioning, coat sections in rinse-out conditioner and take my shower.
  • Rinse sections thoroughly
  • Add leave-in conditioner to each section, concentrating on natural roots and ends.
  • Lightly blow-dry natural roots and ponytail sections
  • When hair is mostly dry, lightly add oil to each section, concentrating on roots
  • Air dry overnight.
  • Bun if going to work and style next afternoon (braids/plaits)
